I have a source table with names in Portuguese, and I want to create a second table with those names translated into English, while keeping the translated names in the exact same order as they appear in the source table.
Could someone help me write the logic/blocks for this in Thunkable? I’m not sure of the best approach — whether to use a translation API (like Google Translate), a manual lookup/dictionary table, or some other method — and how to make sure the order stays synchronized between the two tables.
Any guidance, example blocks, or a working approach would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It depends on the length of your name list and whether you need the app to translate these dynamically or whether you can translate them yourself and just maintain two separate tables which keep the same list order.
If you need the app to translate these names, here’s the flow I would use:
Initialise a variable as an empty list. [NamesPortuguese].
Set [NamesPortuguese] to list of values in your database.
For each item j in list [NamesPortuguese], create a new row in EnglishTranslatedTable, value = translation of j from Portuguese to English.
